Making Color Clay#2



When the clay liquid evenly mixed with color, then I put the liquid into a bowl container. They are ready to dry up for several days. It depends on the weather, when the weather is hot, then the drying process will be faster.

After several days, then the clay will be dry a little bit. But this clay is not ready to shape, because it still too wet.















Here they are, these clay are ready to shape. The clay is ready to shape when it damp enough, as damp as you wanna make cookies.
Interesting right?!















To keep the clay not over dry, then you must wrap them with plastic. This process will maintain the dampness of the clay.
